All of these shows had an off-the-cuff sensibility that Zoom would emulate. As ACT concluded, seventeen of the thirty minutes of Romper Room were devoted to selling products to children. In ZOOM goodys, brand names on ingredients used in recipes were always covered up with plain type.
The cast dressed in identical striped shirts and jeans, which downplayed their class and racial differences, and for the first few seasons ZOOM ers often went barefoot, further signaling their informality. While these performances were choreographed, they had rough edges and were obviously the work of amateurs. In all these ways, Zoom emphasized do-it-yourself creative fun.
From its first episode onward, Zoom was a hit among adults as well as children. Those children represent the spontaneous creative, intelligent people we want our children to become. Much of the funding for these early productions came from private foundations, particularly the Ford and Carnegie foundations. In the wake of a Carnegie Commission report of calling for better and more diverse educational programming, public television was reorganized.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting CPB , founded in , began distributing funding to public television stations around the country, and they in turn became part of the new Public Broadcasting Service PBS in In the lean economic times of the s, funding crises regularly beset public television.
Zoom received regular funding from the U. In , when Zoom was threatened with cancellation, its close relationship with its audience helped to save the show. The people who decide are in Washington. If you love Zoom and want Zoom to stay on, send us your picture. We will send it to Washington to show you care. Just as Zoom was a product of its era, so too was its ZOOM alarm a savvy use of media campaigning in the style of ACT and similar liberal lobbying groups.
Zoom was effectively training children to become activist citizens who could advocate for their own interests. Educational television programs proposed solutions to these concerns that entertained as they instructed. For parents who sought refuge for their children from an overly commercialized media sphere, Zoom was appealing as a vehicle of playful enrichment.
And for children, Zoom was just plain fun. Zoom made its connection to its audience a central part of the show. Given the volume of mail that Zoom received, it is clear that many children took this appeal seriously.
By the mids, Zoom had received between 1. Some were requests for information, especially for ZOOM cards, which explained some of the harder or more complex crafts such as tie-dying cloth or making a raft out of sticks and branches.
Many viewers wrote in with story and game ideas, or sent ideas for ZOOM raps based on their own personal problems or concerns. Every time I write you always send an answer and it usually comes in about a week. To deal with the deluge of mail this project represented, Zoom enlisted adult volunteers to sort the incoming mail into categories. In one five-day period in January , for example, volunteers processed over 11, letters. Some of the letters came from children so young that they needed help in writing to the show.
He is 6 years old. He asked me to send you this—as his good idea. It may be just papers glued together. And teenagers, especially those who had grown up with Zoom , also continued to watch the show and to write in, though a few of them wrote specifically to ask whether they might now be too old to keep watching.
A lot of my friends watch Zoom also! Children who wrote in and contributed ideas likely felt encouraged because they knew that nothing had to be flawless to be on Zoom. The show prized fun above polish; ZOOM ers often appeared on camera performing less than perfectly, whether laughing through a play about a princess locked in a tower, or making a sloppy banana-orange sherbet shake.
The point was to try new things, not to do them with anxious care. Having suggested specific ideas, however, some viewers wrote in again to express disappointment if their suggestions did not appear on television. But I have never seen them on your show. Yet Zoom was not truly child-scripted. The adult producers of the show served as gatekeepers, determining which ideas would appear on each episode. They rewrote some letters for clarity and edited most for brevity before ZOOM ers read them on the air.
Where producers could not find good examples of the kind of material they sought, they found other ways to get it; in the early years of Zoom , for instance, few films made by children were of high enough visual and sound quality to run on air, so the producers turned to a Boston-area art studio where children took courses in how to make animated films to find useable material.
However, Zoom deliberately removed such signs of adult influence from the finished episodes. Similarly, the ZOOM raps were not self-directed. From the outside, these appeared to be filmed conversations among children who were exploring serious themes such as pollution and heaven. However, the making of ZOOM raps involved an adult asking the cast members questions off-camera.
Subsequently, in the editing process these conversations were condensed and the obvious adult influence was eliminated. If this was mildly duplicitous, it was also pragmatic. However, creating a participatory television show for children was at least partially in tension with making a successful and appealing product.
The ZOOM ers attended regular schools full-time, and none of them was a professional performing artist prior to appearing on the show. Moreover, relatively few preteens were naturally articulate performers. The conceit of Take a Giant Step was very similar to that of Zoom : a mix of entertainment and information in a magazine format, with young teenage hosts on live television discussing issues of interest to a preadolescent audience.
Like Zoom , Take a Giant Step encouraged viewers to interact with the show by mail, and floated the idea that some viewers could make their own films for the show. Unfortunately, the rotating hosts on Take a Giant Step proved to be unpolished and awkward.
Thousands of enterprises around the world have done exhaustive security reviews of our user, network, and data center layers and confidently selected Zoom for complete deployment. However, we did not design the product with the foresight that, in a matter of weeks, every person in the world would suddenly be working, studying, and socializing from home.
We now have a much broader set of users who are utilizing our product in a myriad of unexpected ways, presenting us with challenges we did not anticipate when the platform was conceived.
These new, mostly consumer use cases have helped us uncover unforeseen issues with our platform. Dedicated journalists and security researchers have also helped to identify pre-existing ones. We appreciate the scrutiny and questions we have been getting — about how the service works, about our infrastructure and capacity, and about our privacy and security policies. These are the questions that will make Zoom better, both as a company and for all its users.
We take them extremely seriously. We are looking into each and every one of them and addressing them as expeditiously as we can. We are committed to learning from them and doing better in the future.
